There are currently 1052 special places around the world that have been awarded prestigious World Heritage status by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. They are some of the planet's most unique and significant locations and are places of both Natural and Cultural importance.

OUR PLACE has Official Partnership status with UNESCO and is photographically documenting these sites for global promotions as well as archiving them for posterity.

Explore our galleries and enjoy a selection of original and exclusive photos from more than 380 sites world-wide which represent - OUR PLACE on OUR PLANET.

The sites selected as warranting UNESCO World Heritage status are a precious global resource that needs to be protected and preserved for future generations.

Like all resources, unless carefully managed, these unique sites can be damaged, badly exploited or even lost forever.
We at OUR PLACE believe that if people are made aware of the World's Heritage, then they will be able to care about the World's Heritage.

OUR PLACE, the World's Heritage, has been granted official partnership status with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and we are publishing a series of high quality photographic books and organizing OUR PLACE photographic exhibitions and other World Heritage focused promotional activities.

We would like to invite you to keep visiting us at OUR PLACE as we grow this exciting and important project which celebrates OUR PLACE on OUR PLANET.
